What is tubercolusis?

Answer 1

It is an airborne bacteria that enters the body through the lungs. Most people who contract TB have no symptoms, only about 10% of infected people actually get symptoms. Of the people who get no symptoms, the bacteria can lie dormant in the body for years; these people may get symptoms if their immune systems become weakened due to other illnesses such as HIV.

TB can destroy the tissues of the lungs and other organs if not treated with antibiotics, it can often be fatal. There is now a new strain of TB that is drug resistant that appears in large cities from time-to-time.
